Extracurriculars for Future Law Students

By Kim Brooks

The very best lawyers and jurists are people who take their commitment to their communities, however defined, seriously. So, participation in a particular extra curricular activity is less important than an interest in and willingness to give back. A legal education is a great privilege; it’s critically important that our students are the kinds of people who are willing to make a difference in their daily lives.

Kim Brooks, Dean, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University, and 3M National Teaching Fellow.
